As stated above I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have made a difference in their lives as well as them making a difference in my life. I love the many challenges that teaching brings, and believe its a very good experience to discover. I like to use my learning structure to assist in tutoring and making a difference in children to better their education and future. As a graduate I have done tutoring to enhance my credibility to teach possibly in the future with my major in criminal justice. I'm currently enrolled for my Masters in criminal justice and criminology, and I plan to futher my education to teach within that field. During the last past 3 summers I have tutored young children as well as been a mentor to their studies. I enjoy working in this field of study, and plan to continue to do so.

I consider myself fortunate to have been able to help children of many ages throughout my teaching career. I ascribe to the philosophy which says that all students are capable of being successful if they are given enough assistance and opportunities to learn. I believe that with understanding, patience and the correct materials, all students can learn to be successful. In today's high-pressured societal demands, many students feel unable to achieve on the standardized tests necessary for college admittance and yearly tests in school as well. Through respect and clear cut directions, I motivate students to be the best learners they can be. For 9 of my 31 years in education, I was a classroom teacher. For 22 of those years, I was a reading teacher and instructional resource teacher. These positions required me to test students who were new to the district, do turnkey workshops for the facu

As a teacher, I strive to discover how each student processes and interprets information and then tailor my lessons to meet individual needs. Along with subject information, I incorporate visual and tactile examples when relevant and always encourage students to follow their own curiosity about a subject. I work to build and support self-confidence in learning through teaching problem-solving skills and critical thinking, no matter the subject. It is my goal to not only help a student understand a subject, but to help him understand his own capacity for learning. Once a student discovers he is capable of tackling any problem and grasping any concept, he is a learner for life. I am a graduate of Salisbury University with a BA in Visual Communications and more than three years experience working hands on with students ages three - adults.

I graduated from St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts foundation of learning that has served me judiciously on the metaphorical road of life. For the past several years I have applied my interest for the ocean environment, marine mammals and teaching to volunteer for education outreach in schools and the local communities in coastal Delaware. A wise man once said; to learn, read; to know, write. But to master, teach. Teach is one of those nifty reflexive verbs where the teacher and pupil are interchangeable. If both are patient, resourceful, imaginative and caring the learning becomes less process and more flow. This is always my goal in teaching: creating a positive and flexible environment for all the principles involved. And of course, frequently there must be laughter.

I'm currently enrolled in a Masters of Arts of Teaching graduate program.Former instructors, professors and employers describe me as personable, ambitious, confident, reliable, disciplined and a dedicated individual. I graduated in 2006 from Saint Joseph’s University with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Fine Arts. As a junior, I was chosen to study art abroad. Upon my return, I was selected to be a Residential Assistant. In this role I completed a comprehensive training program focusing on communication skills, counseling and health, emergency response, team building and conflict resolution. In addition, I created, planned, and implemented educational, social, and recreational programs with residents and faculty. I am confident I have a gift for recognizing talent in every individual; becoming an instructor is my calling and I am eager to pursue my dream. The formal training I

I’ve always enjoyed teaching others, whether I was a kid tacking up my pony and giving informal riding lessons or leading fellow undergrad students through the forests surrounding Salisbury University’s field station. In the past two years, I have discovered a passion for children. I immensely enjoyed the summer I spent teaching riding lessons in Colorado and realized how much I wanted to continue with the education process when I returned to the Eastern Shore. As a substitute teacher, I have been able to explore the range of teaching methods and opportunities. I thoroughly enjoy working in a small group or one-on-one setting with students who have specific learning difficulties or problems and helping them grasp the material at hand. While at Salisbury University, I studied Environmental Issues and firmly believe in the theory I learned that education in the beginning for everything. I

I took a few classes on teaching at a small community college while I was still in high school. I still am considering becoming a teacher after going back to school to complete my major in accounting. I've always been a stronger believer in one-on-one teaching working more proficiently then being taught in a classroom. I am very patient and hard-working. I had an internship at an under-priviledged daycare for local children in Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever accomplished. I understand the difficulty in learning new things takes time and patience so I am fully willing to diligently work to help encourage students to strive to reach goals. I entered DeVry University in Summer of 2007 as an Accounting/Business Major looking to aquire my Associates of Applied Science in Accounting.

I have taught 3 year olds, 8 year olds, 12 year olds and high school students and the one thing they all have in common is that they all need a structured environment to reach their academic potential. I believe that it is important to hold students to high expectations and challenge them to understand not only what they are learning, but why they are learning it. Because I have worked with hundreds of students, I know that there are many different learning styles and I will adapt any curriculum to fit a student’s particular learning style. I have unlimited patience and I really enjoy seeing the “aha” moment with students I am working with. After graduating college in 2006 with a degree in English I accepted the position of service coordinator in a private Catholic High School.

I enjoy working with both children and adults. I am patient and believe everyone can learn. I treat everyone with respect. Education has made a difference in my life and I would like to provide that same opportunity to others. I have volunteered in the classroom and with the resource teacher at my older daughter's elementary school. In 1986, I earned an MA and began working with adults as a trainer. In 2009, I volunteered as a reading resource working with second graders.

Many students have difficulty in a classroom setting because the teacher teaches one way, while not all students learn the same way. I believe in getting to know my students during our initial sessions to discover how they learn. Listening and picking up on verbal and body language cues allows me to relate with students. Patience and perseverance are my strong points. If one method doesn’t work, we will try another until we get it right. Your child and I will become a learning team. Parents will also become a part of that team. Our working together is crucial to your child’s success. All students can learn to their potential given the opportunity.
